4 Nations heard about him;in their pit he was caught;They took him away with hooksto the land of Egypt.
5 When she realized she had waited in vain,she lost hope.She took another of her cubs,and made him a young lion.
6 He prowled among the lions,became a young lion;He learned to tear apart prey,he devoured people.
7 He ravaged their strongholds,laid waste their cities.The earth and everything in it were terrifiedat the sound of his roar.
8 Nations laid out against himsnares all around;They spread their net for him,in their pit he was caught.
9 They put him in fetters and took him awayto the king of Babylon,So his roar would no longer be heardon the mountains of Israel.
10 Your mother was like a leafy vineplanted by water,Fruitful and full of branchesbecause of abundant water.
